Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2,350-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2350 surge watts and 1900 rated watts of power. Our 79cc 4-stroke OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels at quarter load, quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2350W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build- up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unitโ€™s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 39-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra- efficient one-gallon tank provides over 5.7 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V 14A NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V 8.3A DC receptacle and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. Backed by a two-year warranty.

  • Dependable, Easy to Use
Size: 2350W
I purchased a new camper that has a microwave oven. Unfortunately, my little Yamaha was too small to work the oven so I needed at least 2200 Watts. After considerable research, I decided to go with the WEN. I really didn't want to spend a ton of money for a higher wattage Yamaha. I've had ZERO issues with this generator. Its actually not much heavier than the 1100 Yamaha I had. It's just as quiet and it starts on the first pull! If you don't need full power it has an "echo" setting and it will run for a very long time. I recently did a winter camping trip and the temp fell as low as 16 deg F or more, the generator sat outside sheltered by the camper. The next morning I went to start it, first pull, bingo! She started right up! I just don't see how you can go wrong to use this as an RV generator and in addition to the microwave, I also ran an electric heater too without any issues. If you want to keep the gen looking good, don't toss the box and air bubble liner, use it to store and transport the gen. Cut small openings near the top of the box on the ends to insert your hands to carry it. Overall, I am very satisfied to have purchased this generator at a bargain deal! Also, another thing that sold me was talking to friends who owned other WEN tools/equipment and were very satisfied with the quality. ... show more

  • It can then easily handle these appliances one at a time
Size: 2000W
Waited a year to review (about 100 hrs on the machine).. Ok, here's the deal. Take it from a retired home builder with lots of generator experience, if you plan to rely on this unit to make a daily living, (think food truck) I would save my pennies and go for the twice as expensive Honda only because they are proven to last forever. But, for any other application, especially camping, look no further than the WEN 56200i. Mine does everything it's advertised to do but no more. By that I mean, you cannot exceed the 1600 watt continuous or 2000 motor start surge max. So before you click "buy", know your wattage, especially the start up power of motors involved. Read the directions! I can keep mine in econo mode in my camper van and watch TV, run my small refer and a small fan if need be, all at one time. In this application, it only revs up for a second or two when the refer compressor kicks in and then right back down to a purr, Really quite. If I want to use my Keurig clone or the microwave, yes, I actually have to get out of my recliner and hit the switch to get out of econo for a few minutes. It can then easily handle these appliances one at a time. It's quite, sips fuel, fairly light and the motor never misses.Starts on first or second pull every time. The only drawback is changing the oil every 25 hrs, but it's easy to do. Just watch the price, Last year it went back and forth from around $485 to a low of $410. And oh yeah, never, never ever leave fuel in it unused for more than a month, or you will be looking for a new carb. Update, 6-11-21. Ok, so Iโ€™ve had this machine almost 5 years now and so, howโ€™s it going? In a word, perfect. Probably about 500 hours and still runs like new. After the first few oil changes, I really think you could probably go around 35 hrs instead of the 25 called for because at 25 the oil is still amber in color. The only thing I would add to my initial review is that when you let it sit for a month or two, especially in the winter, you may have to pull the starter as many as 15-20 times to start. DONโ€™T GIVE UP. IT WILL START. After that itโ€™s back to the 1 or 2 pulls. Probably a gas in the carb thing. Anyway.... Still going strong and highly recommend. ... show more

  • Extremely happy with the WEN 56200i
Size: 2000W
I bought this several months ago, but only just had a chance to use it this past week while camping, and I couldn't be happier with it. I'll detail my thoughts below in an organized manner. Decision to Buy Before buying, I compared similar units from Honda and Yamaha. All the units are very similar. All support parallel operation (pairing an identical generator for double the effective power), an Eco mode (throttling down to save fuel when the electrical load is low), and have almost identical panels: 2 3-prong 110v, 2-prong DC, and parallel jacks. The only difference being the WEN panel includes a USB port, which I liked. Physically, they are all very similar (again). The Yamaha is the lightest at 44 pounds (dry), followed by the WEN at 48 pounds, and the Honda at 48 pounds (I saw some specs where it listed 50 pounds, but I'm going off Honda's website specifications). All are approximately the same physical size (dimensions are rounded) WEN: 18"x18"x11", Honda: 20"x17"11", Yamaha: 19"x18"x11", making the WEN the smallest overall and the Honda the largest. But honestly, they are so close in size, it didn't matter to me. I found a great video on YouTube where a guy recorded each in identical circumstances and compared the sound. The Honda seemed the most quiet, but both the Yamaha and the WEN were only marginally louder. If they were not being compared side by side, I doubt most people would notice the difference. That leads us to price, where there is a clear winner: WEN. It's almost half the price of either the Honda or the Yamaha, giving it true bargain status. Given they are so similar, and the WEN includes a USB port, it was an easy decision for me. Criticisms / Negatives The most common criticism/negative comments is around the filling of the oil. In my opinion, it could be easier, but it's not as big of a deal as some reviewers have stated. The panel comes off fairly easily after removing 3 bolts (they are nice bolts, not cheap ones). I put a rag around the fill port (just in case) and used a funnel with a flexible neck (rather than the included one). It went fine. I did spill a bit, but the rag contained the small mess easily. By the way, there is a reason the oil fill port is positioned like it is: It protects against overfilling (because the excess just runs out). If you follow the instructions, you will be fine. Some reviewers commented on shipping damage.packaging. I had no issues with shipping and/or packaging. Mine arrived in an intact box with absolutely no damage to the unit whatsoever. Other negative reviews involved claims the unit did not output the rated power. I did not place the unit under any significant load, so I can't comment on that (sorry!). What I'm Happy About I bought the unit mostly for camping and such, and to have on hand at the house in case of emergency. For the camping aspect, it worked flawlessly. It charged several phones and a tablet simultaneously, in addition to running a small music amplifier (~25 watts), and charging an RV battery. I ran the generator for at least 4 hours a day for 4 days, mostly charging the RV battery and small electronics - all on the single gallon of gas in the tank! I estimate the run time at 16-20 hours with the very minimal load I had on it. This is most excellent and exceeded my expectations. In fact, I may not replace my RV battery, and just use the generator instead. I found the unit to be very quiet overall. If I was within 100 feet or so, I could hear it, but it was not bothersome at all and ran very smoothly with minimal vibration. I also found the unit incredibly easy to start. Open the vent on the gas cap, turn the switch to choke, and it started within 2-3 VERY easy pulls every time. The only exception was the very first time I started it after adding oil, which took several pulls (probably to get the gas into the carb). Conclusion I love this unit and very heartily recommend it. My suggestion is that if you truly need a lot of power, either buy 2 and run them in parallel (which is about the same price as the Honda or Yamaha), or buy a larger generator. I say this NOT because I think the unit can't put out the rated power, but rather because running any generator close to the rated limit is just not a smart idea. ... show more
